<p>You need to re-take the SAT to try improving your score. Add schools to your list that would be safeties for you. All of the schools you listed are reaches for you.</p>

<p>I agree with PackMom- retake SAT…my son had somewhat similar stats as yours, but raised SAT to 600 math, 580 and got into USC Columbia this year. His GPA was 3.2 from highly competitive HS in PA.
You may want to look at George Mason, very up and coming school-depending on your major, may be good safety school.</p>

<p>Hate to say it, but unless you have lots of AP/Honors classes and much better SAT’s, like PackMom said, those schools are all a reach for you, USC would be best bet. My niece applied to UNC with 1300 SAT, and 3.7, lots of extra’s and did not get into UNC…she’s graduating from NC State this year.</p>
